A Chance I'm Mexico for Americans.

N
New York, Aug. 5.--James w..
Porch, ex-Consul- General to Mexico,
is now here. He says: While COM
mercially speaking, We apparently get
no foothold in Mexico except in rail-
reading, Frenchmen, Germans and
Spaniards are reaping a rich harvest.
The antagionsm to American interests
there is exaggerated. My belief is
that Americans who are inclined to be
law-abiding citizens will be as fully
protected, both in personal and prop
erty rights, as the natives are. Their
mode of doing business is rather slow,
and son. shines to us exceedingly irk-
some, but eventually the foreigners
succeed in getting what they ask for,
provided it is within the bounds OF
reason. Credit is good In Mexico,
failures few and far between, and while
payments are sometime deferred,
claims are seldom lost. We have a
field there for large operations if we
only see fit to seize the opportunity"
A Noted Cracksmau Arrested.
JERSEY Cry, Aug. 5.-Detectives to-
day arrested Geo. Earth, a noted

worth of diamonds and jewelry stolen.
He returned recently from a profess
sional trip to Europe which is said to
have been very successful. In his
lodgings a startling array of burglars
tools were found, including jimmies,
wedges, locks, picks, sledges, saws,
braces and bits of all kinds and over
500 KEYS of various shapes, wax i'm
pressions of keys and books containing
cipher entries. Ten pounds of dyna-
mite cartridges were found buried in

A chastity Discovery.
BENSON, A. t., Aug. 5.-Word
comes from Tombstone that at the
springs near there a little girl had
found the skull OF a child, and had
brought it into the house, not know
ing what it was. The girl led the in
mates of the house to the place, where
in searching around they discovered
the trunk of a child, and also the skel-
eton of a man, with his boots on, hid
den under some brush. The boots,
from all appearances, seemed not to
have been worn much, and from their
style had been made to order. The
two bodies were found close together,
covered only by some loose brush, as
if they had been hurriedly buried. A
Coroner's jury have gone out to inves-
tigate the case.
